Joey Porter Jr.’s contract situation is one of the biggest unresolved storylines surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers, and longtime Steelers reporter Jim Wexell has a clear message for both Porter and the organization. With Pittsburgh having created additional salary-cap room, Wexell explains why he believes there is still a path to getting Joey Porter Jr. paid and keeping him in Pittsburgh.The Steel City Insider Podcast breaks down the latest Steelers roster questions following Pittsburgh’s 28-27 preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills as the team prepares for the regular season.Jim Wexell brings decades of experience covering the Steelers to the conversation, giving his perspective on the Joey Porter Jr. contract situation, the 53-man roster, the quarterback room, rookie development, offensive line battles, special teams and the players whose roster spots may be in jeopardy.In this episode:• Jim Wexell explains why he believes the Steelers have enough cap flexibility to get a Joey Porter Jr. extension done.• Why Wexell believes Porter Jr. should report, practice and put the pressure back on the Steelers to make the deal happen.• Why Joey Porter Jr.’s man-coverage ability makes him such an important piece of Pittsburgh’s defense.• Will Howard vs. Drew Allar — who has the higher floor, who has the higher ceiling and what the Steelers should expect from their young quarterbacks.• The latest Steelers 53-man roster battles, including Broderick Jones, Max Iheanachor, Gennings Dunker, Germie Bernard, Robert Spears-Jennings, Lew Nichols and Gabriel Rubio.• Why special teams could determine several of the Steelers’ final roster decisions.• Jim Wexell’s thoughts on Kaleb Johnson, Lake McRee, Ben Skowronek and the players fighting for their NFL futures.🖤💛 If you love Steelers football, make sure you SUBSCRIBE to Steel City Insider so you don’t miss the latest Steelers news, analysis, reactions, rumors, predictions, and AFC North coverage.🏈 Know a Steelers fan who needs to see this?SHARE this video with your friends, family, fellow Steelers fans, and everyone in Steelers Nation.The goal is to make this channel a place where Steelers fans come together.👇 DROP YOUR TAKE IN THE COMMENTS.Should Joey Porter Jr. report, practice and let the Steelers take the next step — or should Pittsburgh be the team making the first major move to get this contract finished?#Steelers #PittsburghSteelers #SteelersNation #JoeyPorterJr #JimWexell #SteelersNews #NFL #SteelCityInsider

Jim Wexell just revealed some surprise cuts for the Steelers 53-man roster — and some of his decisions are going to spark serious debate. From four quarterbacks to Broderick Jones potentially being left off the roster, Pittsburgh has some fascinating decisions ahead of Thursday’s preseason finale against Buffalo.This conversation goes well beyond the box score from the Jets game. Wexell explains why Steelers fans shouldn’t overreact to the offense scoring zero points, why he believes the team could keep four quarterbacks, and what Will Howard and Drew Allar have shown in their first preseason action.We also get into the biggest unanswered questions on the roster — including the battle for the No. 3 wide receiver spot, Roman Wilson’s struggles, Germie Bernard’s opportunity, and what Max Iheanachor’s return to practice could mean for the right tackle position.And then there’s Broderick Jones.Wexell doesn’t hold back on his evaluation of the former first-round pick, explaining why Jones won't make his initial 53-man roster projection. Thursday’s game against Buffalo could provide another critical data point in one of the most surprising roster discussions of Steelers camp.There’s also a major development involving Joey Porter Jr.’s contract negotiations. Wexell provides his perspective on the reported impasse, why the Steelers may be holding firm, and how Pittsburgh has historically handled contract situations involving important players.Plus: Jalen Ramsey is back at practice, Max Iheanachor received first-team reps, the quarterback competition continues to develop, and the Steelers are running out of opportunities to evaluate players before roster decisions become real.This is the kind of Steelers conversation you get when you combine current reporting, firsthand camp observations, roster evaluation and decades of understanding how this organization operates.Subscribe for Steelers insider reporting, training camp coverage, practice observations, player evaluations, roster battles, game analysis and the latest developments from inside Pittsburgh football.Who makes the biggest impact Thursday against Buffalo — Will Howard, Drew Allar, Broderick Jones, Max Iheanachor, Kaleb Johnson or someone else?#Steelers #PittsburghSteelers #SteelersNation #NFL #NFLNews #SteelersNews #SteelersFootball #SteelersTalk #SteelersPodcast #SteelersInsider #SteelCityInsider #JimWexell #WillHoward #DrewAllar #JoeyPorterJr

Jim Wexell believes the Steelers are preparing to keep four quarterbacks, a position he has maintained since the spring. The reasoning goes beyond Friday night: Pittsburgh is trying to win another division championship while simultaneously developing two young quarterbacks behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.The roster implications get even more interesting when you look at the offensive line, where Gennings Dunker’s injury could create another difficult decision — and potentially impact how Pittsburgh makes room for four quarterbacks. And what about Joey Porter Jr.?Wexell offers a very different perspective on the contract situation — including why the Steelers may already have their number in mind and may simply be willing to wait. There’s also Asante Samuel Jr., who continues to put together solid practices. And the larger question of how Pittsburgh balances developing young players with trying to win right now.That’s what makes this Steelers roster so fascinating heading into the second preseason contest against the Jets.The Steelers aren’t simply evaluating players.They’re trying to build a roster capable of defending the AFC North while developing the next generation of the team at the same time.The full conversation goes much deeper into what Jim Wexell is seeing around the team, why the four-quarterback plan makes sense, what Pittsburgh may sacrifice to keep four QBs, and which roster battles could become critical before the August 30 cutdown deadline.Subscribe for boots-on-the-ground Steelers coverage, insider reporting, practice observations, player evaluations, roster battles, coaching decisions, and analysis you won’t get from generic Steelers news coverage.Steelers Nation — which roster battle are YOU watching most closely heading into Friday’s preseason game against the Jets?#Steelers #PittsburghSteelers #SteelersNation #NFL #NFLNews #SteelersNews #SteelersFootball #SteelersPodcast #SteelersInsider #SteelersTrainingCamp #SteelersPractice #SteelersQB #WillHoward #MasonRudolph #JoeyPorterJr

Jim Wexell was boots on the ground at Steelers camp — and what he saw from Pittsburgh’s young quarterbacks, roster hopefuls and developing depth tells a much bigger story than the preseason box score. Will Howard showed composure in the two-minute drill. Drew Allar appears to be making progress with his mechanics. And Mike McCarthy’s comments to the beat writers offered some revealing clues about how the Steelers are developing their young quarterbacks. But that’s only part of what stood out. Jim Wexell, Jeremy Hritz, and Bo Marchionte break down what they saw inside Steelers camp and around the team, including: • Why Will Howard may have shown enough to secure his place in Pittsburgh’s quarterback room • What McCarthy’s decision-making during Howard’s fourth-down throw could reveal • Drew Allar’s developing footwork, deep ball and short-area accuracy • The intriguing Tony Romo comparison for Howard — and why it’s worth watching • Why Lew Nichols continues to make his case, including an important pass-protection rep • Germie Bernard’s physicality and his Deebo Samuel/Hines Ward-style potential • Why Jim Wexell believes Robert Spears-Jennings is a legitimate seventh-round find • What the Steelers’ offensive tackle struggles could mean for Broderick Jones and Dylan Cook • Why Kaleb Johnson’s limited preseason workload deserves attention • Keeanu Benton’s new contract and where he could fit on the future defensive line • What Elandon Roberts brings to a linebacker room featuring Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson • The deeper meaning behind Mike McCarthy’s comments about eliminating mental errors And there’s an important distinction here: these aren’t observations from a box score or a generic Steelers news feed. These are people who were actually there. Wexell has been covering the Steelers for years, and the conversation goes beyond who caught a pass or who gained the most yards. It gets into the little things reporters see at practice, what coaches emphasize, how players are being deployed, and which developments could actually matter when the roster gets cut down. The Steelers still have plenty to figure out before the regular season. The quarterback room is developing, the offensive line has questions, the running back depth chart remains unsettled, and several young players are trying to force their way onto the roster.

Something feels OFF with the Steelers quarterback situation right now — and nobody seems to have a clear answer. Aaron Rodgers still hasn’t signed. The Kirk Cousins rumors were shut down. Mason Rudolph might actually start. And now Will Howard is getting unexpected buzz… all while the NFL Draft is right around the corner. Here’s the problem — this doesn’t match what should be happening for a team trying to compete NOW. The Steelers are stuck between development and contention, and the uncertainty at QB could define the entire season. Is this just offseason noise… or are the Steelers heading into a risky situation at the most important position? What do YOU think happens next for the Steelers QB room? Watch another Steelers breakdown on the channel to stay ahead of everything happening right now — especially with the draft approaching fast. #steelers #pittsburghsteelers #nfl #steelersnation #herewego #aaronrodgers #willhoward #nfldraft #nflnews #football #sports

The Steelers quarterback situation is still wide open… and the truth is, most of what you’re hearing right now isn’t real. In this episode of the Steel City Insider Podcast, Jeremy Hritz and Jim Wexell break down what’s ACTUALLY happening with Aaron Rodgers, why the Steelers are being patient, and what it means heading into the NFL Draft. With no clear first-round quarterback worth chasing, the real question becomes: are the Steelers waiting too long… or playing this perfectly? We also dive into: • Why the Kirk Cousins rumors don’t make sense • What the Steelers REALLY think about Rodgers’ timeline • Why wide receiver is the biggest need on this team • Draft strategy: playmakers vs positional needs • The truth about safety rumors and first-round picks What happens next could define the entire direction of the franchise. Do you think the Steelers are handling the QB situation the right way… or are they falling behind? ➡️ Watch more Steelers breakdowns on the channel — stay ahead of the narrative. #steelers #pittsburghsteelers #nfl #nfldraft #aaronrodgers #steelersnation #nflnews #football #sportsnews #nflrumors #draftseason #quarterback

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made several major moves in free agency, and those decisions could completely reshape their draft strategy. In this episode of the Steel City Insider Podcast, Jeremy Hritz is joined by Roy Countryman to break down the Steelers’ newest additions and what they mean for the future of the roster. The discussion begins with the Steelers’ acquisition of Michael Pittman Jr., a move that could elevate the offense and allow DK Metcalf to step into a more explosive playmaking role. Jeremy and Roy also analyze the addition of running back Rico Dowdle, who joins Jalen Warren to potentially create one of the most physical backfield tandems in the NFL. On the defensive side of the ball, the Steelers made key upgrades to the secondary with Jamel Dean and Jaquan Brisker, moves that could significantly strengthen the defensive backfield under the new coaching regime. The conversation also dives into the biggest question facing the Steelers: the quarterback position. Is Aaron Rodgers still a realistic option? Could Will Howard emerge as a surprise starter? And what would that mean for Pittsburgh’s draft strategy? Jeremy and Roy explore whether the Steelers may trade back in the upcoming draft to accumulate more future capital, and how the team’s free agency decisions could influence which prospects Pittsburgh targets. If you’re a Steelers fan looking for deeper analysis of roster moves, draft strategy, and the future direction of the franchise, this episode of the Steel City Insider Podcast breaks it all down. #steelers #pittsburghsteelers #steelersnation #steelersnews #steelerspodcast #nflfreeagency #nfldraft #steelersdraft #nflnews #michaelpittman #steelersoffense #steelersdefense

Steelers Nation — this just happened. HOT OFF THE PRESS, Omar Khan met with the Steelers media and gave fresh updates on the quarterback situation, draft approach, cap flexibility, and potential extensions. Where do things really stand with Aaron Rodgers? Is Will Howard truly in the mix? Are the Steelers drafting a QB early — or not at all? Omar made it clear there are no imminent cap casualties. The team feels good about its financial flexibility. He addressed the offensive line outlook, discussed draft capital (12 picks that could grow to 14), and gave insight into how they’re evaluating skill positions. There were also key hints about Joey Porter Jr.’s extension timeline and how the team views the defensive secondary heading into the season. Nothing dramatic. But very telling. Reading between the lines, what direction are the Steelers leaning? Veteran stability? Developmental QB? Or best player available?

The NFL Draft season is officially here, and on this episode of the Steel City Insider Podcast, we’re joined by Roy Countryman as he unveils and defends his first Pittsburgh Steelers mock draft. With 12 total draft picks and plenty of flexibility, the Steelers have no shortage of options—but the real question is where they should attack first. Roy walks us through his strategy, including a bold approach of double-dipping at wide receiver, adding explosive playmakers regardless of who ends up under center. We break down specific prospects like Zachariah Branch and Carnell Tate, discuss why this year’s quarterback class lacks elite talent, and explain why waiting until later rounds for a QB may be the smartest move. We also dive into defensive fits, including a detailed evaluation of Dominique Orange as a versatile interior lineman and the potential impact of adding athleticism in the secondary. Plus, we touch on offseason storylines like free agency timing, compensatory picks, and whether a veteran quarterback move could still be in play.

Steelers fans… the Mike McCarthy era is officially here, and the conversation is getting real fast. In this episode of Steel City Insider Podcast, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic joins the show, and we break down why McCarthy’s intro press conference flipped the public narrative, what the Steelers actually had to choose from in a tough coaching market, and why the next 12 months come down to one thing: finding and developing the next quarterback. We also dive into the hire of Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator—his background, his scheme flexibility, and why this might be the most underrated move of the offseason. Then we get into the question everyone keeps asking: Is Aaron Rodgers really in play for Pittsburgh? We lay out the factors pointing toward it, what it would mean for McCarthy’s transition, and how it changes the timeline for drafting a QB.
